Naming Standards and Location of Objects :: SAS(R) IT Resource Management 3.5: Reporting Guide

Information Maps

The following table describes the standard naming conventions and storage locations that SAS IT Resource Management uses when creating and saving the various objects that are associated with information maps.

Object	Naming Convention	Location
information map	An information map has the same name as its corresponding source table. (Example: MonthShiftDisk)	In the IT Data Marts tree: <IT data mart name><adapter type><number>Domain Categories<domain category>.
information map filter (date type)	Includes descriptive words that show the performance area first, then a descriptor, the type of metric, and a statistic. (Examples: MemoryUsagePctWMean, PagesFreedRateMax) Note: The format of the name must be in mixed case with no spaces.	In the Information Map transformation that is part of the information map job. Information map filters are available on the Information Map Parameters tab of the Information Map transformation properties.
information map filter (statistic type)	Includes descriptive words and components that are based on the following guidelines: The first two characters (if the filter is based on a rank column from a joined table) show which level the column comes from. For example, D_ for Day level table, W_ for Week level table, M_ for Month level table, or nothing when it is not from a joined table. The text string Top or Bot corresponds to ascending or descending order. The data item name on which the column is based, when appropriate, is included. The text string DescRank or AscRank is included to show the rank order when appropriate. The format of the name must be mixed case with no spaces. (Examples: BotMemoryAvailableMB, TopCpuBusyPct)	In the Information Map transformation that is part of the information map job. Information map filters are available on the Information Map Parameters tab of the Information Map transformation properties.
information map job	<domain category> Information Map (Example: Disk Information Map)	In the IT Data Marts tree: <IT data mart name><adapter type><number>Domain Categories<domain category>.
Information Map transformation	<time period><measurement category> (Example: MonthShiftDisk) Note: The name must be the same name as the aggregation table that it uses. It cannot contain double quotation marks.	An active Information Map transformation is in the information map job. A template to create your own Information Map transformation is in the Transformations tree in the `SAS IT Resource Management` folder.

Supplied SAS Enterprise Guide Projects

The following table describes the standard naming conventions and storage locations that SAS IT Resource Management uses to name and save the various objects that are associated with the supplied SAS Enterprise Guide projects.

Object	Naming Convention	Location
project	<Adapter><DomainCategory> (Example: DTPerfSentryServerSystem.egp)	Windows: `Program Files/SASHome/SASITResourceManagementSASEnterpriseGuideCoponents/3.5`.
process flow	<TimePeriod>Job<DataSourceName> (Example: DayJobDetailSystem)	An active Performance Report transformation is in the reporting job. A template to create your own Performance Report transformation is in the Transformations tree in the `SAS IT Resource Management` folder. Note: Transformation names cannot contain double quotation marks.
ITRM Report Definition task	<Resource><FilterDescription><GraphType><TimePeriod> (Example: SystemCpuHighUsagePlotForTheDay) Note: The ITRM Report Definition task name is the same as the report definition that it creates.	The last object in a branch of a process flow in a SAS Enterprise Guide project.

Performance Report Transformations and Report Jobs

The following table describes the standard naming conventions and storage locations that SAS IT Resource Management uses to name and save Performance Report transformation, report jobs, and their reporting components.

Object	Naming Convention	Location
report definitions	<Resource><FilterDescription><GraphType><TimePeriod> (Example: SystemCpuHighUsagePlotForTheDay)	In the Folders tree: Shared DataSAS IT Resource Management3.5 IT Report Definitions
Performance Report transformation	<DomainCategory> <Time Period> (Example: Disk Monthly)	An active Performance Report transformation is in the report job. A template to create your own Performance Report transformation is in the Transformations tree in the `SAS IT Resource Management` folder.
reporting job	<DomainCategory> <time period> Reporting (Example: Disk Monthly Reporting)	In the IT Data Marts tree: <IT data mart name><adapter type><number>Domain Categories<domain category>.

Exception Definitions, Exception Transformations, and Exception Jobs

Object	Naming Convention	Location
exception definition	<InputTableType>_<InputTableName>_Description (Examples: STG_SAR_HighRunQueue, Agg_DaySystem_HighRunQueue)	In the Folders tree: Shared DataSAS IT Resource Management3.5 IT Exception Definitions
Exception transformation	<DomainCategory> Exception (Example: SAR System Exception)	An active Exception transformation is in the exception job. A template to create your own Exception transformation is in the Transformations tree in the `SAS IT Resource Management` folder.
exception job	<DomainCategory> Exceptions (Example: SAR 1 System Exceptions)	In the IT Data Marts tree: <IT data mart name><adapter type><number>StagingException.
